- Public sales are scheduled to start on 18 May 2026 via the company’s website, its Shropshire plant centre and selected stockists, with bare-root plants priced from £27.50.
- The rose is described as producing luminous white, semi-double cups with golden stamens and a complex fragrance featuring notes from green banana to honeyed musk, nougat, clove and myrrh.
- Beckham wrote that the gesture moved him to tears and said he has planted a circular rose garden at his Cotswolds home to grow the variety.
- In May, King Charles III was reported to have sent ten large pots of the rose in bloom to Beckham, who is also reported to be an ambassador of The King’s Foundation.
